Joel Madden is psyched to tour around Europe except for one major thing - he has to leave his kids behind!

The Good Charlotte frontman shared his personal tour blog with Paper Mag and gave a peek into his rarely-seen world, from photos he sends to his wife Nicole Richie to what the venues look like before the crowds rush in.

But the cutest pics of Joel and Nicole's adorable youngins, 3 1/2-year-old Harlow and 23-month-old Sparrow. He shared the above pic along with the caption:

"Saying goodbye is always hard. On my last day in L.A. before leaving on tour, I always try and take my wife and kids somewhere fun. This was taken on the Ferris Wheel at Santa Monica Pier. Best day ever."

Can you say sweetest dad ever?! See more pics Joel shared after the jump.

Joel shared the above pic, saying it's "the very most important part of my day. iChat with my kiddies. Nothing I could see in any city could ever stoke me more than seeing this."

Aw!

Good Charlotte's European tour wraps up August 21 at the V Festival in the U.K.
